Understanding the media: A starter guide for scientists
This free, one-hour course covers the basics scientists need to know about media engagement.
SciLine is an editorially independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit service for journalists and scientists. Our goal is to help get more science into news stories. We connect reporters quickly to scientific experts and validated evidence. And we work with scientists to amplify their expertise and help them give voice to the facts. Our work is fully funded by philanthropies, and everything we do is free.

Housewarming party
Some meteorologists and public health researchers have together studied the atmospheric conditions inside inflatable “bounce houses” popular on summer days. They found that the heat index (a combined measure of temperature and humidity) inside a bounce house can be as much as 8 degrees F above ambient outside temperature, often reaching levels dangerous to health.
In our work at SciLine, we run into an amazing diversity of scientists driven by curiosity to understand the fascinating world in which we live. We regularly highlight a topic you might be surprised or delighted to know is the subject of scientific scrutiny.
